How do variables affect Generator Sizing?

Analyzing the effect of voltage and frequency drops is indispensable for deciding which engines and alternators are more adequate for a generator. Voltages are not a static phenomenon. They fluctuate resulting in peaks and drops during certain phases of the equipment’s functioning. In fact, when we speak about circuits we distinguish between two types of […]

Dereating: how Temperature and Elevation Affect Generators

In certain environmental conditions, generators can suffer power losses. Preventing these will allow us to ensure the maximum efficiency of our equipment. All engines and alternators are capable of offering 100% capacity when they operate in standard or not so demanding environmental conditions, but when they must function in environments with high ambient temperature or […]

Risks and Consequences of Using Generator Sets at a Low Load Operation

Minimum load for generators Generator sets are designed to operate close to their rated power, and maintaining them properly is essential to ensure optimal performance. Every generator has a recommended minimum load, typically around 50% of its rated capacity. Operating below the generator minimum load for extended periods can lead to serious issues and reduced […]

Supply of two generator sets for a solar power plant

Another achievement by our distributors. We’ve supplied two gensets of 220 and 462 kVA, 220-127Vac at 60Hz, prepared to operate under CFE norms according to the degree of seismicity in Mexico as well as the area’s semitropical characteristics. With a capacity of 170 MW, the Santiago photovoltaic power plant is located in the state of […]

We supplied two “turnkey” generator sets to the biggest combined-cycle power plant in Jamaica

One of our latest projects in America has taken us to Jamaica. We’ve had the pleasure of participating in one of the largest engineering projects in the island, the Old Harbour Bay combined-cycle power plant, the biggest in the country, for which we’ve designed and provided two special gensets. Located in the fishing port of […]

Emergency Generator Set to provide power to a Data Center

We already know that the presence of generator sets in data centres and communications companies is critical. Our distributors are aware of this, and they’ve trusted GENESAL ENERGY to supply an emergency genset that will guarantee power supply in the main building of one of the most important telecommunications companies in Europe. Features Oversized fuel […]
